Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book our barbecue in North Charford

A closer look at the menu
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls, often with coleslaw.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in North Charford
Is North Charford too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What does the venue need to provide?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are often easier. Use our quote form.
